BFF still uncertain about rolling out Tk 10m Super Cup this year
Thursday, 22 July 2010
Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is still uncertain about rolling out the second version of the 10 million (1 crore taka) Super Cup, one of the biggest domestic meets of the country, this year due to major renovation works at the Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) for the upcoming ICC World Cup Cricket in February next, reports UNB.
Talking to the newsmen Wednesday, BFF General Secretary Al Musabiir Sadi said that the Super Cup would fail to attract the crowds if BFF had held the meet during the just concluded World Cup Football, the scheduled time of hosting the tournament.
He said that BFF is still thinking over the matter, "Although there's a very little time in hand."
"But, considering the present situation, there is a dim chance of holding the Super Cup this year," Sadi said.
Sadi said: "We cannot take such prompt decisions to host the big tournament as the tournament budget is near 1.75 crore for which BFF is yet to receive any green signal from any sponsor party."
The first version of the super cup was able to arouse the country's almost morbid football state, pulling huge numbers of football crazy people to the big bowl.
On the other hand, the league committee will likely sit on Saturday to fix the probable dates of fourth version of inter club player transfer and Bangladesh League.
It was known that two more new teams will be included in the upcoming Bangladesh league after five new teams already applied to take part in the meet.
